Charlie, our guide, was excellent. He arrived early, found out our interests and catered the tour to our needs. We learnt about the Joseon Dynasty, Japanese rule in Korea, Korean War, etc. Charlie took us to off-the-beaten-track places which were highly interesting and we even experienced the carnival-like atmosphere of a massive Korean street protest as our tour took place on the day the South Koreans were seeking to impeach President Yoon. Thank you Charlie for an incredible experience!
